Fans of the Metroid Prime games will be happy to know that Nintendo will be releasing all three games on a single disc. Not only do you get the convenience of having all three games on one disc, but Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2 Echoes, which were originally released on the Gamecube, will feature widescreen and 480p support along with motion controls a la Metroid Prime 3. However, the good news doesn't end there. The compilation will be released on August 24th for the price of a regular g...
The guys over at Pwn or Die have done their best to photoshop Alaskan Governor turned potential Vice President Sarah Palin into some of our favorite video games as some of our favorite ladies.
From Cortana in Halo to Meryl in MGS, and even Samus and Lara Croft - it is worth peek for a laugh.
Three key developers from the fabled studio behind the Metroid Prime games have broken away and formed their own house. Mark Pacini, Todd Keller and Jack Mathews have already signed an exclusive publishing deal with EA and are set to work on new IP's. It's rumored they may be making games for the 360 or PS3.
"Nintendo has denied internet reports that the Metroid Prime Trilogy in its entirety is coming to Wii.
According to GoNintendo, a tipster claimed that the computer system of a retailer had a new Wii game listed as 'Metroid Prime Trilogy'.
Internet speculation jumped to the obvious conclusion that Metroid Prime 1, 2 and 3 were being repackaged as one and the GameCube games were being revamped for the console.
But speaking to CVG, Nintendo labelled the rumour as "Purely rumour and spe..."
Lead designer Mark Pacini, engineer Jack Mathews, and art director Todd Keller, who were all seniors of the company Retro Studios have moved one. These three people were some of the main people involved in bringing you the Metroid Prime Trilogy. The reason for them leaving is not yet known.
It is also rumored that the three may make their own development studio, but that is still up in the air and yet to be seen.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and BioShock ... what a pair, eh? Both are shooters, both with their own unique spin on the FPS genre, and both are flagship titles for their respective systems. So what's the difference? Well, one game, BioShock, was hyped to the stratosphere. The other, Metroid, seemed to suffer from a lack of attention until just before release.
So which one came out on top in the sales charts last week when Corruption debuted? The less-hyped Metroid pulled out the top spot. ...
"In the formidable wake of BioShock and its outstanding critical reception, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption regardless of the series reputation that has gone before it really needs to be something special considering that the first-person shooter genre has so recently been utterly redefined and re-imagined.
However, if you had to pick an FPS franchise that could follow the wonders of BioShock and even stand a realistic chance of eclipsing it, well
Metroid Prime would certainly be on the s..."
The hype and hyperbole for BioShock continues its ebb and flow across the industry - and critical feedback sure says that 2K Games' latest offering is a bona fide stunned. But what's on offer this week? Well, if you're in the US, then Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is the cream of the crop, while the likes of Blue Dragon, Warhawk, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 are following close behind.

"Mmmm, another European release date announced. Metroid Prime 3 is set to roll into (see what I did there?) European shelves on October 26th. If I lived in Europe, I would be purchasing this on my Playstation 2s 7th year anniversary .if I didnt give it to my friend after getting my PS3 that is."
"In an effort to get you excited for the late August release of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Nintendo today announced that they'll be releasing the original NES Metroid onto the Wii Virtual Console on August 13 for 500 Wii Points.
The fun doesn't stop there. On August 20, Nintendo will release the SNES Super Metroid for 800 Wii Points. Boy, if I was to get into either of those games again, I might miss out on the launch of Metroid Prime 3.
I better stay away from them. They've already ta..."
Although the prospect of playing BioShock is successfully pushing the disappointment of the summer months into the nether regions of our gaming minds, it's worth noting that a certain armour-clad Samus Aran will also be gracing our lives a matter of days after the arrival of Irrational Games' underwater epic.
How could be possibly forget about Metroid Prime 3: Corruption? Well, we haven't. And to prove it, here's the latest trailer and chunk of sexy gameplay. We like. We like a lot.
"Previously the WiiWare section of the Wii Shop Channel was home only to the Internet Channel and the Everybody Votes Channel, but if todays download is anything to go by, could we be looking at more downloadable trailers and even demos in the future?"
"We've got the latest Nintendo release schedule that reveals the much anticipated European release dates for two of its biggest upcoming games.
Samus' massive Wii debut isn't far off because Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is hitting stores on October 26. YES!
And Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (aka The Best Game on DS) is sailing it's way to our little island a week before that: October 19."
Somewhat subdued by Microsoft and Sony's E3 standards, Nintendo rolled out a bunch of games for Wii and DS that we've known about for quite some time - and none of which offered up much by way of progression.
Instead, Nintendo chose to focus on the WiiFit system, which it hopes will get couch-bound lazy good-for-nothings up and working out rather than sitting back and clicking buttons. Good luck with that, Ninty.
"Michael Kelbaugh, President and CEO of Retro Studios, gives us a final update on Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, as well as one bit of bad news: online multiplay will not appear.
17 New Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Screens GamePro: Will Metroid Prime 3 have any online modes?
Michael Kelbeugh:: No. It's something we talked about early on, but we only have so many resources. We opted to devote those resources to making a better single-player experience.
What are the biggest differences ..."
"- First level - You are attacked on a spaceship while meeting with the ships captain
action packed
- Play feels motion controls work better than dual joystick
- Super sensitive pointer in advanced mode
- Beam stacking ala Super Metroid
- Visor switch: Hold minus and flick Wiimote in certain directions
- Boss fight with Ridley at the end of the first level. Excellent difficulty curve by the time you reach the boss.
- Back tracking in MP3:C makes more sense than in previous..."
"Whether you're a longtime gamer who likes classic franchises or a newcomer aiming to keep your brain sharp, Nintendo's summer lineup of games has something for you. Nintendo's offerings are anchored by key Wii games like Metroid Prime 3 Corruption and Mario Strikers Charged. Nintendo DS owners can challenge their minds with games like Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day and the new picture-based puzzle game, Picross DS.
Licensees also are demonstrating a strong commitment to Wii a..."
